Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women and Children provides a full spectrum of services to one of the most underserved segments of the homeless population in Los Angeles and surrounding communities – unaccompanied women, and mothers with children.

Since its inception in 1984, Good Shepherd Center's primary goal has been to permanently end homelessness for the women and children we serve by providing individualized services that support women as they transition from homelessness to a self-determined life.

Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women and Children operates three Residential programs that provide shelter, food, clothing, referrals and on-site supportive services to unaccompanied women and families experiencing homelessness. Languille Shelter and Hawkes Residence operate as Interim Housing sites for unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness. The Residence sites provide unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness with temporary housing intended to resolve their immediate experience of unsheltered homelessness, to connect participants to permanent housing opportunities and to provide various others resources needed to break their cycle of homelessness.

In addition, Farley House provides Transitional Housing to up to 21 families experiencing homelessness. The families are composed of a parent/guardian with up to two minor children.
